The answer

The mentioned report is false and not supported by any chain of transmission. It has been narrated in several sources from Nasr ibn Muzahim, who is a weak Shiite narrator, and from Ibrahim al-Bayhaqi, who is unknown, and from Sibt ibn al-Jawzi, who is a weak Rafidhi (Shiite). Therefore, the story is denounced in terms of its chain of narration and its text; it was fabricated by the Shiites, and it is not permissible to disseminate it.
